Documentary filmmaker Tomoaki FUJINO’s elder sister Masako began showing symptoms of schizophrenia as a young woman. Their parents ignored it, thus Masako did not receive any treatment, despite her worsening state. FUJINO started recording the family gatherings with his camera back in 2001 and has created a painful examination of taboos and responsibilities.
